How do you teach your bird to skateboard?

[bickitrainer]

This is a really hard trick to teach, I'm not sure if anyone here has taught their bird to skateboard? If so, how do you teach it? Or do you have any suggestions on how to teach it to skateboard?

Bicki has learnt many tricks and I believe we're ready to take on the advanced ones! He has a little skateboard (from mcdonald's happy meals lol) and he happily steps up on it!

If you've seen my other videos of him riding the skateboard, he just steps on it and his weight makes the skateboard automatically go. I want him to kick himself!

Any ideas, much appreciated!

i dont knwo really the fact that you get him on the skateboard at all is pretty cool, mabye you cou;ld get him to half step down?? does tha make sense?? probably not ;D bu if he half stepped down and then stepped up again it might push him along a bit?

Oh yeah good idea!

I'm made him step up and then I hold a treat out of reach in front of him, I was hoping that he'd kick the skateboard to go towards the treat but instead, he just hops off and gets the treat lol.
